On November 6th 2009, a year since losing his job at AIG JobsDirectUSA Founder Carlos Gil and others stood on the steps of Capitol Hill in Washington DC to ask President Obama to help the unemployed and publicly announced a call to action on behalf of every single American that has lost his or her job since the recession began back in 2007. Not only did this call to action air live via the web, but it was also recorded, uploaded to YouTube and sent to the White House. One week later, on November 12th, President Obama announced that he would host a White House jobs summit on December 3rd. With the nation's unemployment rate at its highest level in 26 years, President Obama plans to bring together CEO's, small business owners and financial experts to sound out ideas for continuing to expand the economy and create jobs. We must now make sure that our united voice is represented and heard on December 3rd in Washington DC. We are asking that you get involved in this cause and please take a few minutes of your time to e-mail directly the Office of Public Engagement at public@who.eop.gov and let them know that you would like to nominate Carlos Gil to represent you on December 3rd. Please get your friends, family members and colleagues involved as well. Recession affects everyone. Together we can make a difference.
